Andrew Linzey

Andrew Linzey’s article, The Place of Animals in Creation, presents a Christian viewpoint on the issue of animal experimentation. Every year millions of animals are killed in experimentation that supposedly someway benefit humans. The USDA registered research laboratories reported that nearly 13 million animals including dogs, cats, primates, rabbits, farm animals, bears, wild rodents, and others, were killed in experiments between 1990 and 1997. As shocking as that number is, it does not include hundreds of millions of small rodents and birds. Many of these experiments are argued to be unnecessary and cruel. According to the Physicians for Responsible Medicine web site, the EPA recently ordered tests to be done on over 2,800 chemicals. The majority of these tests, argues the web site, are completely unnecessary and an absurd waste of money and life. Such chemicals as rat poison and turpentine are being tested to see if they have harmful effects on humans. Most people !

already know that rat poison will probably kill a person if they consume it, and turpentine is also commonly know to be dangerous. This is just one example of the problems with animal experimentation. Man
